ICYMI: Study Reveals 10 Most Stressful Jobs...Is YOURS on the List?!

Ok, so I feel like everybody's job can be stressful at times. In fact, my job stresses me out on the regular so if you feel the same way just know that You Are NOT Alone.

However, the Occupational Information Network, which happens to be part of the U.S. Department of Labor, recently issued a report where they ranked close to 900 of the "Most Stressful" jobs in the nation. The rankings reflect the importance of accepting criticism and dealing calmly and effectively with high-stress situations in each role.

Clearly I'm not going to list all 873 jobs but I will give you the Top 10, and you might be surprised as it includes all types of careers, industries, and SALARIES!

Lets Start with #1 on the list:

UROLOGIST

Who knew dealing with people and their pee could be so stressful, but in this report Urologist have a Stress Level of 100!!! Now, that might be cushioned a bit by the fact that the median salary for these docs is around $208,000 a year.

Still not sure if that's enough to convince me to trade my microphone for a "PeePee cup".

Next UP...#2

Film and Video Editors

I mean...if you've ever tried to edit a TikTok video using "transitions" or dubbed audio then you already understand the level of stress and frustration these folks must endure...multiply that by 16hr days 365 days a year and its easy to see how Film and Video editors managed to score a stress level of 99, with a median salary of $62,680!!! That works if you can WFH and "Home" is somewhere rent/houses are cheap. Probably why most of us have to edit our own stuff here in Miami!!!

#3 ON THE LIST:
